You wrote that you prefer black satin over black pro mist because it flares a lot. What would be the "equivalent" black satin of the black pro mist 1/8?

The black satins don't increase in flare as you go up in grades the resolution reducing element just gets more intense. A good neutral look like the bpm 1/8 would roughly be around the 1 & 2 grades of black satin. Good luck getting your hands on one though tiffen is always out of stock 3 hours ago, Matt Kieley said: I might have to get one of those satin filters. I love them.

I found a store on the UK but they dont send it to Portugal and another one that wants 40£ for shipping I found Warm Pro Mist 1/4 on ebay (30€) but i dont know if thats what im looking for (i base my opinion on the example video from tiffen). I guess that one is very different from the BPM 1/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Testing out a simple ML Raw workflow from some test shots I did with the Canon 35mm f/2. The first one is a "vintage" look using an Impulz LUT. jonpais, BTM_Pix and kidzrevil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 And the second one is a simple Rec709 conversion and some basic exposure/saturation adjustments... Does anyone know why EOS HD's file upload system sometimes darkens the image? With the above screengrabs, the images are similar to how they look in FCPX, but there is definitely some darker hues when uploaded here.

kidzrevil Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 @Bizz 1/8 & 1/4 warm black pro mist are amazing for skin tones. It even fixes the skin tones on sony & panasonic cameras. Throw them on a contrasty lens and the look is incredible ! I honestly wouldn't wait up on the black satins if I had the opportunity to use the wbpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is "pretty" accurate to what I exported to my desktop, but the Rec709 is at least a whole stop darker. I'll look into Imgur... thanks.

Matt Kieley Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 @kidzrevil Do you prefer WBPM filters or the Black Satin? Sounds like they both have their advantages. Do you ever stack both the WBPM and Satin together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 @Matt Kieley I never ever stack filters ! I would recommend you avoid mixing diffusion by stacking filters. I prefer the warm black pro mist in lighter grades (1/4 & 1/8) for my personal work because I don't mind the highlight blooming. I only use the satin and black satin filters when I want a more "invisible" unobtrusive look to the diffusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hey everyone, new here but I've read through several posts and I'm learning a lot! I just got my GH5 and want to pick up a few lenses. I am just so indecisive and would love some advice from the great community here. I plan on using the GH5 99% for video, in a combination of travel videos (both cinematic and sometimes vlogging), real estate films, weddings, and short films. I like the idea of starting out with 3 lenses and would love one of them to be an UWA for real estate and establishing shots like the PL 8-18, Tokina 11-16, Laowa 7.5, or Voigtlander 10.5. The next lens I'd love to have would be the main work-horse, the one that I'd use most of the time and preferably a zoom even if small like the 12-35, PL 12-60, or Sigma 18-35. And lastly, I'm open to either a portrait-type prime like the PL 42.5 1.2 or more of a zoom like the 35-100 or even higher. That last category is wide open for options, just looking for lenses you guys think are must haves for yourselves and would love to hear why! Having such a tough time deciding between a lens like the 12-35 or 12-60... and the Sigma 18-35. Dual IS and smaller that could fit on my Zhiyun Crane... or 1.2 constant aperture in the Sigma with metabones but just bigger. Would it make any sense even to get both? Pretend price isn't an option, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The Laowa 7.5mm f/2. An overlong, rambling video in which I hardly talk about the lens at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 @jase A few months back, I believe you said you were looking for a 10 or 10.5mm lens - if you ever get the GH5, you can use ETC mode and get 10.5mm from the Laowa 7.5mm f/2.

Phil A Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So after all the discussions here and always seeing Kidzrevil's stuff on social media, I'll give the diffusion filters a try. Got a Warm Black Pro Mist 1/8 off eBay for 28€ incl shipping. Should arrive today and I'll give it a spin on the weekend. Wish I had thought of getting a step-up adapter already to use it on the Voigtländer, for now I'll try with the Olympus 12-40 2.8. In unrelated note, we have now bought way more native m4/3 lenses than I wanted. My girlfriend hogs all the lenses I like but the 17.5mm 0.95 (she doesn't dig the manual focus). We now have the Panasonic 14mm 2.5, 25mm 1.4 and 42.5mm 1.7 and especially with the GX80 the size of the system is really neat. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
